Fails after a while
I originally purchased perhaps 8 of these (2500 and 2450) and was quite excited by the charge time (15 minutes).
It's not the cheapest battery out there, but I figured at 15m charge time it was worth the investment. Slowly I added to my collection every time we needed a new set of batteries.
The power output was good as my shaver was going nuts, but now after perhaps a year to year and a half, I've lost at least 12 of the 25-30 I originally bought.
When charging via supplied charger, I get that 'flashing red light' which basically means the battery is faulty. To try rescue them, I put them in the freezer and charged using a conventional charger, but this only 'sorta' worked.
I would venture I've not charged some of the batteries more than 30 times before they failed (used in my wireless mouse).
Cool idea (15m charge), but they simply fail.

Product failed in less than a month.
Usually when I buy energizer batteries their of good quality. I purchased these AAA rechargeable batteries as well as the charger and when I charged them for four hours they did not hold their charge. I waited until the indicator light turned green, once i placed them inside my voice recorder it said they only had half the power left.

Two failed to hold charge.
I bought a packet of 4 of these batteries in about june 2012 and now less than a year later 2 out of those 4 batteries now fail to hold charge for no seemingly good reason as all 4 of them were in use in the same object and 2 of them still work as they did the day i bought them, now i need to buy another pack of 4 just so i have the required amount needed for my device.

Didn't hold charge
I bought these batteries without the Energizer charger to use on my Phillips voice tracer. I would charge the batteries when transcribing minutes and, just to be on the safe side, charged them for 4 hours prior to the meeting. The meeting lasted 3 hours the batteries died at 2, thankfully I had another set of batteries to finish the meeting but not sure when they died.
I would hope that you can charge them on the device if the device can recharge batteries which this can. Not real happy with the purchase currently.

Sudden failure
I bought my batteries in 2011, 12 in total and one charger. 8 have been used for my xbox 360 controllers and the other 4 for my wireless mouse. Up to now there hasn't been any problem, infact they've done a good job holding a charge. Now all 12 have failed in the same way, they are no longer charging and at the same time. I've been quite regimented in their use, rotate freshly charge batteries into a controller from the pool or 8. The same for the mouse and now they no longer charge. What's worse is the xbox controllers are the items which have the less use and the mouse one the most yet all have failed in the same way at the same time. Weird and frustrating, different uses and use and never mixed up but same failure to within a few weeks of each other.

long lasting
I use 3 of these at a time for my LED mini flashlight and it is super bright. The best part about it is that I can leave it sitting in the flashlight for about a month without it completely discharged. Then use it for about another two weeks doing my nightly rounds before charging these bad boys again! I love these batteries, just make sure you keep track on which battery you charge since you can only charge them as a pair. It would help if there were numbers or symbols to help keep track which ones need to be charged.

This product performed poorly
I purchased an Energizer recharger with 4 AA batteries a few weeks ago. My main use was to be for my computer mouse and keyboard. The batteries did not come pre-charged. When I did charge them and put them to use, they lasted 2 - 3 days only. I was hoping to save money and time with this product. It did neither for me.
